It includes a butterfly research laboratory, a museum with displays of preserved butterflies, and a 20-meter-long fountain. The park serves as a habitat for approximately 48 butterfly species. A multimedia center provides educational information regarding the life cycle and biology of butterflies. The surrounding landscape is planted with host and nectar plants to sustain the butterfly population.

Wear bright colors like red, yellow, or orange, as butterflies are more likely to land on you if you mimic nectar-rich flowers.
Stay perfectly still when butterflies are nearby to increase the chance of them landing on your clothes.
Bring a macro lens if you are using a camera, as butterflies are small and move quickly.
Avoid wearing strong perfumes or deodorants, as these can disrupt the butterflies' sensory receptors.
Closed on Tuesdays for maintenance and cleaning.
Do not touch the butterflies or the plants, and maintain a quiet voice to avoid startling the insects.
